Another older piece from '05. A more 'realistically proportioned' depiction of myself, so to speak. It was done to reflect my feelings toward people in general. part of the poem was a compliment, part an insult, and last 2 bars are dedicated to my love.

The poem can be hard to read, so here's a transcript:

Beautiful Like Me

You shine so bright, dancing in the daytime.
You shine so bright dancing in the sky.
With all my might, I couldn’t understand you.
With all my might, no matter how I try.

You’re so important, staring in the mirror.
But it’s alright, because you never really see.
You’re so important, you think the world is ugly.
But it’s alright, because you’re beautiful like me.


No one sees you, lurking in the shadows.
No one sees you, singing all alone.
With all my heart, I wish that I could show you.
With all my heart, that the world is made of stone.

You’re so pretty, standing in the moonlight.
But it’s alright because you never really see.
You’re so pretty, you will never see the others.
But it’s alright, because you’re beautiful like me.


People shun you, screaming in the darkness.
People shun you, crying through the day.
With all my words, I couldn’t make you listen.
With all my words, but you threw it all away.

You’re so broken, they can’t pick up the pieces.
But it’s alright, because you never really see.
You’re so broken, you think the world’s for you.
But it’s alright because you’re beautiful like me.


You know it all, while you’re standing in the spotlight.
You know it all, with a smile on your face.
With all my rage, I consume your reputation.
With all my rage, I put you in your place.

You’re so amusing, you think that you can crush them.
But it’s alright because you never really see.
You’re so amusing, your obsession turns you ugly.
But it’s alright because you’re beautiful like me.


You fall so far, blood under the twilight.
You fall so far, empty eyes on me.
With all my love, fill you up with something.
With all my love, try to make you see.

You’re so heartless, tear me up inside.
But it’s alright because you never really see.
You’re so heartless, swept away in anger.
But it’s alright because you’re beautiful like me.


You shine so bright, dancing in your darkness.
You fall so far, shining light on me.
No one sees you, walking on the balance.
People shun you, because they cannot see.
You know it all, but you speak to no one.
But it’s alright, because you’re there for me.

You’re so important, carry out the orders.
You’re so heartless, to anyone but me.
You’re so pretty, shining silver souled.
You’re so broken, but together we can see.
You’re so amusing, show them all reality.
And it’s alright because you’re beautiful like me.
